> How is "NFT" not a gigantic scam?

Some types of NFTs are not scams, but the NFTs that are images, videos, audio are complete and utter scams.

Simply slapping blockchain on them creates the false illusion that you somehow 'own' it when given that are not even stored on the blockchain in the first place, it tells you that you actually own an expensive certificate that could point to anything since they are really living on centralised servers.

If that is not a scam, I don't know what is.
